I also used two papers from a christmas paper pad by Craft Smith. The image is coloured with copic markers and Kindy Glitz. I also added some glitter ribbon, a strip of corrugated paper and some pearls. I followed the sketch at Stella Says Sketch.

I have used a pre-made card base from a paper pad. I added some "ribbon" which has been die-cut using dies from Cherry Lynn called "Alison's Ribbons". This is the 2nd combination I have used from the die set. The image is from Ike's World and is coloured with copic markers and Kindy Glitz. Matting is pink cardstock.

I've made a card for a sailing enthusiast - inspired by a song. The song I was inspired by is "I am Sailing" by Rod Stewart. I haven't heard that song in a while, but every time I see a yacht I am reminded of that song!

I have used a paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft. The sentiment tag came from a different paper pad also by Kaisercraft. The image is from Digi Stamps 4 Joy and is coloured with a combination of Promarkers and Copic Markers. I added some dots using Nuvo in blue and gold.

I had been really busy with work through March and April and decided to take a break at the end of it. The only problem is that I didn't realise there was only one day of April left when I got back! I am now scrambling to get progressive cards for end of April completed plus DT makes for 1 May! I think I need to plan things better!

I have used a paper, border and sentiment from a paper pad by Kaisercraft. The image is from Createful Heart Digis and is called Hummingbird n Morning Glory Flowers. I coloured with Promarkers. I also added some Nuvo Drops - bought these on holiday.

April is nearly over - and so is the busy time of work for me! For the next 2 weeks, I am only working one day per week and after that it will be 2 days per week. So, I finally get some crafting time again. I just got back from a week's break and spent the afternoon completing a couple of cards. I had coloured the images while I was away on holiday.

I have used a digital paper from Lozzy for the background. The image is from Beccy's Place and is coloured with Promarkers. I added dots around the image also using a Promarker. I die-cut a border strip using dies from Cherry Lynn Designs called "Alison's Ribbons". I bought this set while I was on holiday and I can see with all the possible variations I'm going to get alot of use from this set.

I'm going to a 2 day swim camp today - but I'm up and ready way too early! So, I decided I would create a card before I left. I'm only involved as an observing coach so not much preparation needed for the camp. However, it will be full on while I'm there so no time to craft!

I have used some scrapbook papers from my stash together with an offcut of a paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft. The image is from A Day For Daisies and is coloured with copic markers. Matting is pink pearlescent paper. I also added some tiny pink pearls.

I have used a paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft. The image is from Bugaboo Stamps and is coloured with copic markers and Kindy Glitz. I added some faux stitching using a Distress Marker. I also added a border from the paper pad by Kaisercraft, a lace border and three white pearls.

I have used a digital paper from Bugaboo Stamps. The image is also from Bugaboo Stamps and is coloured with copic markers. I added some brown satin ribbon from American Crafts, some spotted washi tape and three brown buttons from Krafty Korner.

My computer is playing up a bit this morning and I only have a short time to get this uploaded to one of the challenges I'm entering this into. I probably should have waited up and uploaded it last night but I was waiting for the glue to dry on the bow. And then I slept in this morning!

I have used a paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft. The image and sentiment are from QKR Stampede. I coloured with copic markers. I also used some spotted washi tape, some pearlescent cardstock for matting and a pre-made bow.

I have used a paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft. The image is from Limited Runs and is coloured with copic markers. The sentiment is also from Limited Runs. I used some orange cardstock for matting. I also used some checked ribbon and some enamel dots from We R Memory Keepers.

While I am starting to get back on top of things after 2 very busy months of work, I still have a long way to go! Today, I managed to create 3 cards as well as partially sort some of the housework. Actually, I was supposed to be doing the housework but would rather create!

I have used a digital paper from Lozzy. The image is from Rick St Dennis and the sentiment from Netty's Cards. Colouring of the image and sentiment is with Copic markers. I used some pearlescent cardstock in 2 different colours for the matting. I also added some enamel dots from We R Memory Keepers.

I have used a paper from a paper pad by MME. The image is from Bugaboo Stamps and coloured with copic markers. I have also used some glitter ribbon, some pearlscent cardstock for matting and a butterfly embellishment from Rosie's Studio.

February and March were both hectic months for me with work - not much time for crafting. Last week I was away from home with minimal internet but some spare time. I spent some of that time colouring up some images that I had printed out. This morning I created a card with one of them:

Time for a new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs. This challenge we are sponsored by Wink Wink Ink and Dr Digi's House of Stamps:

The theme for the challenge is a recipe of 1 image + 2 designer papers + 3 embellishments (either 3 of the same or 3 different)!

For my first card, I used an image from Wink Wink Ink called Catnap:

I used two papers from paper pads by Rosie's Studio. I coloured the image with Promarkers. I also die-cut three cats from metallic paper using dies from Poppy Stamps.

For my second card, I used an image from Dr Digi's House of Stamps called Tiki Tim:

Again, the papers are from Rosie's Studio. The image is coloured with Promarkers and I also added dots around the image using one of the Promarker colours. I tore the edge of one of the papers to add a little interest. The embellishments this time are 3 buttons.
